Deadline: 31-Oct-23
The Liberated Capital is inviting proposals from Indigenous-led organizations and tribes working to build political power, movements, and lead campaigns to drive Indigenous solutions around climate change and conservation issues in the United States.
Examples of the work they seek to fund may include movement-building efforts and organizing campaigns that center Indigenous self-determination that promote sustainable food systems; land and forest management; protection and conservation of water sources and natural resources, or Indigenous-led data and research to advance advocacy efforts on climate and conservation solutions. They value and understand the importance of the sovereign tribal governments in this work and encourage projects led by, or partnered with, tribal nations. This list is not exhaustive.
